Reflections on the world from the banks of the Marne

Egyptian election

I’ve been following the Egyptian election like everyone. There’s been a lot of good journalism and instant analyses by academic specialists and think tanks types on it, as on the Arab revolutions more generally. One analyst I find interesting is Eric Trager, a young American political scientist doing research in Cairo. For his dispatches this week, see here and here.

UPDATE: Trager’s latest dispatch: “A visit with a fundamentalist member of Egypt’s new parliament.” (December 10)
